I finally got my Merlin in the mail, but it required stalking the femailman. On Monday the 19th, there was a key for one of the bigger post boxes in my little post box. All excited I open the post box and...empty.

WTF!!

Pissed off, I go back to the house and write a little note for the femailman that says that the box was empty and should I have gotten a key for a different box...blah blah blah.

I left it in there for 3 friggin days and still nothing.

So this past Monday (my day off), I decide to stalk the femailman.

I sat at the window of my house that has a direct view of our post boxes and waited for the elusive Canada Post worker to show up.

When she did, I bolted out the door and then casually strolled up to the boxes.

"Good timing", I say to her.

She smiles in reply.

I open my box, get out the 2 letters (or bills is more accurate) and still no parcel box key.

She is now filling the other half of the boxes, so I tell her that I had gotten a key in my box last week but the corresponding box was empty and should it have been a different box.

She asks me what my address is. I tell her. She opens a different box and lo and behold...there sits the Merlin.

It had been sitting there for a WEEK!

So instead of tearing a strip off of her for her incompetence like I had originally planned, I thanked her and went home.

I'm so spineless :\
